Matthew Bates is now 37 years old and his career
is still in its beginnings. However if we look back at his 24 years of painting
we can see that development is that of a much older artist. Matthew is not afraid
to use new technologies in his work while respecting the historic qualities that
have been handed down to his through the ages. Firenze has been his greatest teacher,and
Matthew is a good student.
Bates's Paintings can be
found in private collections from Alaska to Venice, and he still is living and
painting in Firenze to this day.
